Villarrica is one of the most active volcanoes in South America, often with a plume of smoke and, at times, a glowing lava lake in its crater.\r\n\r\nThe town is built for the outdoors. In summer, there is hiking in the national parks, rafting on the Trancura river, kayaking on the lakes, ziplining and cycling, and in winter, skiing on the volcano's slopes. After a day out, the region's natural hot springs, some of them in forest gorges, are the perfect way to recover.\r\n\r\nGive Puc\u00f3n four or five days.
